Gifts for him! Do you know how hard to shop for our lovely boyfriends, father, husband? Looks like they have everything or they don’t need anything. Today I’ll show you Shrimp Salad Circus Vintage shop on Etsy

“Shrimp Salad Circus is Lindsay & Marion. We graduated from Alabama together (cue obligatory "Roll Tide"), trekked a small portion of the world for a bit, and are now sadly located several states apart. We've both lost countless hours scouring thrift store after thrift store looking for God-knows-what and have accumulated more vintage whatnots (purses, mainly) than we'd probably be comfortable admitting. Despite our attachment to all this fabulous stuff, we can't keep buying it up at this rate, so we're passing it along to you!”

Today I want something warm and cozy! That’s why I choseJezek’sshop on Etsy! It’s another style of craft I’ve never worked and I don’t think I will! She workswith wool, fiber, cotton. I love her felted shawls and scarves! You also can find felted jewelry in her shop. So take a look and enjoy the work of this artist on ETSY .

From her BIO

“ Being a child I couldn't choose something concrete as a hobby.It was just that I took a great interest in fancywork, knitting, crocheting, sewing, beadwork, drawing, dancing and after all in athletics practice.My mother always believed that my excessive creativity came through my grandma. She was a good hand at any handicraft.”

Today I want to show youAllMadeWithLove shop and my favorite leather necklaces! I remember back in Russia I always loved this style and I have no idea how she made it! But with the price of this necklace – better just buy and enjoy it! Stop and look by her shop she also has some lovely gemstone necklaces, crochet and knitting stuff.

“ I've always loved crafts. Jewelry Designing, Crochet and Knitting are my passions. I've learned knitting and crochet when I was a child and have done this throughout my life.It is a pleasure for me to make blankets, shawls, sweaters, jackets, adorable little things for babies, and many more.

Creating jewelry is my new passion, and has been such for the past four years. I love elegant, simple and extravagant contemporary and vintage designs. I have been making jewelry, using gemstone beads, chains and vintage elements, or whatever may inspire me.
